Let’s say hypothetically (although traveling IS what caused me to think of this) I go to 5 o’clock Mass on Saturday night in New York. Then I travel and go back home to, say, Hawaii (:)) and DON’T go to Mass on Sunday. Did I still fulfill my Sunday obligation, since 5 o’clock eastern time isn’t early enough to count for the Sunday Mass in Hawaii? I have no reason to believe travel within a time zone (e.g Chicago to Kansas City) would make a difference for the Sunday obligation, but would the hypothetical scenario I created for NY–>HI fulfill it?
 
The obligation is to attend Mass either on the day itself or the evening before. You attended Mass the evening before and thus fulfilled the obligation.
 
As long as you went during the 32-hr window in your LOCAL time zone, you fulfilled the obligation. Where you travel afterward has no relevance.

By local you mean where the location of the Mass I attend is, right?
